Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility

Unable to install Rockbox on 80gb IPod Video

(1/2) > >>

mullenkamp:
I am unable to re-install a new version of Rockbox, because the installation utility does not find the device.
It's likely due to the fact that when I plug my iPod into my computer it never shows up with a drive letter. The iPod (with Rockbox) just indicates that it is charging when the USB is plugged into the computer.
Is there any setting in Rockbox to allow the iPod and the computer to interface again?

Thanks

bluebrother:
If the Ipod doesn't show up when connected how do you transfer data to it? Besides, some more information would be helpful: what OS are you using, does it work if the Apple firmware is booted, is Itunes running?

LambdaCalculus:
And also is it an iPod video or an iPod Classic?

mullenkamp:
I am running Windows xp. I have not tried to re-install the original Apple firmware. I have never installed itunes (and hopefully never will). And the ipod is an ipod video.
Originally, I was able to connect to the computer, and thats how I originally uploaded music. But in the past 6 months it hasn't been able to connect.

Thanks for your help.

GodEater:
Sounds like a semi-broken USB cable to me.
